Which octane should I use

spark kncking V10
I have a 2001 SD250 V-10 which spark knocks no matter what grade fuel I use. At time while pulling a 3000# trailer it will sound like a Powerstroke. The dealer has looked at it three time with no computer error codes or out of parameter problems. Any ideas or suggestions?

Not to argue with you, but my 02 V10 has 20,000 miles on it and has pinged for the last 5,000. I met a retired Mobil fuel expert and he said " the only reason it pings is that it needs a higher octane" no matter what the manufactuer says. He told me to not use mid grade (89) because it lacks the full spectrum of additives (91) has, and said to run a tankfull of (91) every fourth tank, this has solved my ping problems.
